Abstract
Electrical charge of the red blood cells is the major force of repulsion among the red blood cells which have electro-negativity in normal condition. The new apparatus of electrophoresis was devised by the author for the purpose to measure the electrical charge of the red blood cells by means of U tube method applied with U-type electrophoretic cell used in the Tisselius's apparatus. This apparatus is simple and easy to manage. And also it is very convenient to investigate the variation of the electrical charge of red blood cells influenced by the circumstances, especially to examine the effects on the red blood cells as a whole when mixed with several kinds of the parentheral fluids, or exposed in anesthetics and the related gases.
As the results of the basic experiments done by the author, 30% packed red cell fluid (the erythrocyte suspended solution) was the best medium for measurement, and how to formulate the velocity of electrophoresis was calculated.
